Hey, I remember hearing about a website where some collectors share recordings of old shows like that. Can't remember the name rn but if I find it, will drop you a link. Here's to hoping Pirate Bay Buccaneers is one of them!

Pirate Bay Buccaneers? Yeah, that aired on local public access. What I remember is the DIY vibe of the whole thing. Acting wasn't Hollywood level but it had heart. Cyber pirates – they were probably ahead of their time with that theme. Think 'hacking' but with the aesthetic of an 80s arcade game. They even had an episode warning about Y2K – hit different back then. Great show for its time.

Everyone here be talking 'bout a show that probably didn't even exist... what if OP's dad just had some wild fever dreams back in the 90s and thought it was a TV show? 😂

OMG finally someone else who knows about this! 'Pirate Bay Buccaneers' was my JAM as a kid. It was only on air for like, what, one season? There was Cap'n Code, the leader with a robotic parrot, and I distinctly remember an episode where they surfed data waves or something. Total sleeper hit among us '90s kids from the area. Stylized like an early computer game, pixelated villains and all. I'd give anything to watch it again!

Your best bet might be reaching out to local TV historians or collectors who focus on Bay Area productions. There's a chance someone digitized it off cable back in the day. If your dad watched it, maybe he knows someone who recorded it? Or check with local libraries - they sometimes have archives of stuff like this.

Wait, what show? Never heard of it before. Got any clips or stills from it?

I specialize in obscure local access shows. Pirate Bay Buccaneers is a tricky one. '90s production, right? Never officially released on any home video format and kind of predates widespread internet streaming. I've been on the lookout for taped episodes for years but only found scattered clips. It's the kind of thing that'll show up in a garage sale on a dusty VHS with the label half scratched off. The search continues...

oh man, Pirate Bay Buccaneers takes me back! They were this ragtag group of 'cyber pirates' as they called themselves, who'd go on virtual adventures. All set in this kind of neon-soaked retro-futuristic version of the Bay Area. It was low budget but had so much charm. SFX were super cheesy but that was part of the fun haha. Shame it was so local, could've hit cult status if it got more reach.
